Sitting on a ridge overlooking Gold Beach, the newly constructed British Normandy Memorial stands in memory of the 22,442 men and women under British command who died on D-Day and throughout the Battle of Normandy during the summer of 1944.
The Memorial consists of Memorial Court, the D-Day Sculpture and 160 stone columns with the names of the fallen carved into them, all sitting within almost 50 acres of parkland.
